Maintainer note: these bugs both date back to 2006; neither is a regression

While I was preparing today's -rc2 release, I noticed that this
change broke some of my release scripts with

    $ git rev-parse --verify v2.48.0-rc2-161-g6c2274cdbc^0
    fatal: Needed a single revision

which is the construct that has been there almost forever.  Its
expected output is

    $ git rev-parse --verify v2.48.0-rc2-161-g6c2274cdbc^0
    6c2274cdbca14b7eb70fb182ffac80bf6950e137

The series seems to need a bit more work.

Gah, I made sure to copy the object name into a string buf, so I could
operate on just the relevant part, but then ignored that and operated
on the full thing.

This fixes it:

diff --git a/object-name.c b/object-name.c
index 614520954c7..cb96a0e6161 100644
--- a/object-name.c
+++ b/object-name.c

I'll include it with all my other fixes in a reroll, which I'll
probably send out after 2.48 to avoid distracting from the release.
